How we gonna do the Seeding & Brackets |
- Original Seeding: ELOs of Voobly RM 1v1 and Steam RM will be used to generate a first list. Then the individual positions in this list will be adjusted according to additional information the admins have (number of games, other ladders, qualitative sources).
- Group Stage: The standard size of a round robin group is 3 players. Only if the number of participants isn't divisible by 3, there will be one or two groups of 4 players. The players will be distributed as follows:
- Number of participants: n
- Number of groups: rounded down n/3 = m (Group 1, Group 3, ..., Group m)
- 1st seed and last seed go to Group 1, ..., (m)th seed and (m)th last seed go to group m.
- All seeds in between are randomly distributed. Group 1 (and Group 2) will receive a 4th player if there is/are.
- Group Ranks:
- If all three players have equal points at the end of Group Stage, the final positions will be randomly set.
- If two players have the same amount of points, their direct encounter will be the deciding factor.
- Seeding for Single Elimination brackets:
- Points gained in Group Stage (in groups of 4 players, the points gained against the 4th placed will be irrelevant).
- When equal points: original seeding.
- Single Elimination Brackets: There can be Byes. Designed in the usual way ([1st vs 4th] vs [2nd vs 3rd] etc.).
